Did we ever tell you all about that time that we went to the mountains with our girlfriends and had hours and hours of amazing conversations about topics ranging from massage etiquette to men wearing ladies’ shoes?

As a blogger, I particularly enjoyed the weekend because we spent a lot of time weighing some interesting Would You Rather scenarios. I feel like that practically qualifies it as a business trip. Wonder if I can write it off on my taxes next year?

Our friend Sheri is about to have a big wedding anniversary, so she was talking with her hubby about what they should do to celebrate. Her hubby said to her, “I got this”.

A few of us kind of did a collective shudder when she told us, only because we are the planning types. We don’t necessarily want to be surprised. We like to know what we are getting ourselves into and have appropriate expectations for the event.

This is how we feel the moment anyone says that they have a surprise for us!

The rest of our group was reassuring her that it would be awesome and that surprises are fun. They liked the idea of not having to think about planning and to just sit back and relax and go with the flow. In fact, a couple of our good girlfriends said that the most romantic thing they could think of would be a surprise trip somewhere.

This is the reaction you want from someone when you are surprising them!

Half of us preferred to plan it all and half of us preferred to be surprised.

So, we decided to ask our Dose Peeps. Would you rather plan it all or be surprised? This can apply to a specific event like a special trip with your mate or just life in general. What are your thoughts?
